- Abstract
Key capabilities that must be owned to survive the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is the ability to manage information. This information management is very closely related to information-seeking behavior which requires vision, hearing and speaking abilities. But how do those who have physical limitations, such as impediments in vision (visually impaired), disabilities in hearing (hearing impaired), or speech disabilities that automatically will make it difficult for them to process information optimally? The purpose of this research is to find out information-seeking behavior, especially for the blind in facing the industrial revolution era 4.0. The method used in this research was a descriptive qualitative obtained from interviews with three informants. The results of the study are that the needs of information by students with disabilities are generally the same as other students who are inseparable from the needs for general information (current events), information related to a subject-matter in school, social life, and information in accordance with their hobbies. The search behavior requires guidance from the accompanying teacher/librarian and as a whole requires the internet in searching for information because the acquisition is fast and can be done anytime and anywhere.
